HANOI, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Typhoon Kalmaegi made landfall in central Vietnam on Thursday evening, bringing torrential rains and powerful winds that caused widespread damage, local media outlet VNExpress reported.
The typhoon uprooted trees, damaged roofs, and shattered glass windows of buildings in several localities. Power outages were reported across large areas of several provinces, affecting hundreds of thousands of households.
